Want me to sue Twinkies for you?  Class action lawsuit?  What's the
cause of action?  You disparaged Twinkies despite the admonition?  You
didn't get your 50 cents back?  Bet you'll never buy Twinkies again!  

By the way, I think the Twinkies license provisions you cited are
unenforceable against you, an innocent consumer.  Sue in small claims
court without a lawyer.
